You enjoyed the independence,Come and go as you please;Now the kids are saying,"Dad, hand over the keys."

When faced with changeDo I fear the testOr will I look to heaven,Expecting to be blessed?

He says, "Trust Me, I love you"Your life’s not in ruin;"Open your eyes,"You’ll see what I’m doin.’"

I thought life was over,My usefulness done;He speaks to me softly,"Your life’s just begun."

"The old is gone,"Bid it adieu,"Take My hand,"I have plans for you."

Looking out my windowAnd wouldn’t you know;Expecting signs of spring,All I see is snow.

Scripture:"By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going." — Hebrews 11:4Final Thought:"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."— Wayne Dyer— Vince Reidsma is a Holland resident.
